I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) committed to providing non-judgmental counseling in a safe and nurturing environment. I believe in a collaborative approach, one in which the client's strengths are recognized and applied to the individual's unique situation. The key to making progress in a therapeutic relationship is trust, support and safety, and I believe it is my responsibility to cultivate such an environment.

I consider it my job as a therapist to help clients navigate successfully through life's challenges, to develop self awareness, strengthen coping skills, and ultimately, achieve a sense of well being and happiness. I have worked with a variety of clients of many ages in both out-patient and residential settings in addition to my years of experience working in private practice. This variety of clinical settings has contributed to my therapeutic approach which differs based on the individual needs, age and temperaments of my clients.

In addition to working with clients and their families, when needed and with client's consent, I also work with outside agencies, doctors, schools, etc., in an effort to coordinate care and help clients reach their maximum potential.
